SD Tap Room

Located several miles north in Pacific Beach, along the bar-choked Garnet Avenue, SD Tap Room is a popular sports bar-pub with an outstanding beer selection. About a half-mile from the beach, it makes for a superb stop during any San Diego Brew Haj, since all the beers are locally brewed. 50 taps available, including goodies from Stone, Modern Times, Green Flash, Alpine, Lost Abby, Alesmith and one of the Pizza Ports. Try to ignore the boisterous sports bar atmosphere and focus on the wonderful selection of crafts. After all, this is why you came.

A large and bit of dive spot with a huge bar. Lots of taps and a great bottle list. Small pours, good service and a relaxed vibe. Food looked good, but didn’t eat. A nice local, but not worth a specific trip.

Visited during RBWG 2018, just a couple blocks from our AirBnB. Sort of a dive bar slash sports bar on the main drag in Pacific Beach. Street parking. Large central wrap around bar that meanders everywhere, plus booths and bar tables. Good taplist and solid/large bottle list. Very friendly efficient server. Flights of any amount of five ounce pours. Food was pizza with $2 slices after 10pm, but they may have had other things as well. Worth a stop if in the area.
